Massage Treatments

If you suffer from headaches, neck pain, (either at night or through the day), painful shoulders or arms, lower back pain, stiff or painful legs, cellulite or poor circulation, massage may well be able to help bring you relief.

A course of massage can also help relieve stress and aid relaxation, helping you feel more relaxed and improve your sleep pattern. A common source of muscular pain is poor posture; posture is the way we carry our body. If your body is out of line you may have developed rounded shoulders, a forwardly protruding head or an extended stomach. As a result you may experience headaches, backache, muscle fatigue and painful joints. Following a detailed consultation, posture correction advice plus exercises, and a course of massage treatments, you can look forward to pain relief, a wider range of motion and a fuller sense of well being, helping you to look and feel better.
